சித்தர் சிவவாக்கியர் பாடல் (040)

ஓதுகின்ற வேதம்எச்சில் உள்ளமந்திரங்கள் எச்சில்
போதங்களானது எச்சில் பூதலங்கள் ஏழும்எச்சில்
மாதிருந்த விந்து எச்சில் மதியும் எச்சில் ஒலியும் எச்சில்
ஏதில்எச்சில் இல்லதில்லை இல்லைஇல்லை இல்லையே
சித்தர் சிவவாக்கியர் பாடல் (040)

The vedas recited are spittle* the mantras in it are spittle*
That, that has become food is spittle* all seven worlds of the body1 are spittle*
The semen that stayed in the womb is spittle*; the moon2 is spittle*; the voice is spittle*
In which there isn’t spittle*? None! None! None! There isn’t!
—Siddhar Sivavakkiyar Hymn (040)

* Here in this song, Siddhar Sivavakiyar stresses on the point, that there isn’t anything in this world that is pure, or in other words there isn’t anything impure at all. The common sense he advocates here is, either everything is impure, or everything is pure, in such cases, whatever that has been earlier considered as impure is actually pure.
1 Seven worlds can be attributed to the seven energy centers that makes the human body.

2 Here it could be considered as the energy center behind the left eye through which the chandrakalai (the flow of energy by the left nostril) flows—The one associated with water and coldness.
